The "Biscuit Tin PC"
By
Tipu
- Posted on June 5, 2003
Introduction
After searching around the house for something
to stuff an ITX board into I came across this Biscuit tin.
Now not very original you may think. But hey it's ALUMINIUM!...
The equivalent sized case would cost me ££'s at
least.
Th tin itself is very flashy as it's not your
normal run of the mill but rather one of those special edition
tin's that we Brits normally get around christmas. I liked
the label on top so much that I left it on. It really brings
home the fact that this is no ordinary PC to whoever observes
it.
Specification
VIA EPIA 800 Board
Toshiba 40Gb 2.5" HDD
256 ECC SDRAM
2 Line Blue VFD
Morex PSU Kit
Runs XP Pro & Redhat Linux Pro 8.0
Hi-Brightness Blue LED's
Chrome Faced Power & Reset Switch.
Construction
The guts of the system, as you can
see it get's very cramped in 235mm x 195mm Biscuit tin. I've
removed the original Epia Fan & Heatsink & replaced
it with a Zalman Chipset Heatsink & Ultra-Slim VGA card
fan that I ripped out of a Radeon. The fan is running at the
lowest speed possible using a Zalman FanMate 1 controller
which is in the bottom left hand of the pic above.
Both the PSU & VFD required cables to be routed to the
back.
Hard Drive mounted on the top, And that's
the DIY Fanguard next to it.
An extensive array of inputs considering
the minute size.
Aerial View... This is probably my
favourite shot...It brings out the shine of the tin
The biscuits expired in Oct 02. And
they're probably radioactive by now!
